Suggest Treatment For Strong Side Effects Of Vicodin Overdose
Question: I took 4 vicodins 750 by accident 7 hours ago, felt strong side effects earlier but last 3 hours got mild but I still feel some nauseas and dizziness , is it dangerous to fail asleep by now? because its making me very tired too
Brief Answer:
Not dangerous after 6 hours of ingestion
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query. You have ingested 4 tablets of vicodin 750, seven hours back. Usually effect of hydrocodone and acetaminophen wears off after 6 hours. You should have consulted a local doctor before. But now as the intensity of side effects have decreased, you can sleep. It has sedation action too. There should be some one near you to take care of you after you sleep.
Since heavy dose of acetaminophen cause liver toxicity, i advise you to consult a doctor for some tests.
Hope i have answered your query, if you have any query, i will be happy to help.
